The B5 was originally designed to complement the narrow Lotus Elise/Exige. Because its compact exterior increases the head room significantly, The B5 shape sits the driver very low in the car, which reduces the likelihood of hitting the crash helmet on a roll cage.

This amazingly comfortable seat is commonly used in many sports vehicles such as the Matia-MX5. Although the seat has small exterior dimensions it can fit a surprisingly large range of driver sizes and the headrest and belt holes have been designed to be compatible with the Hans device.

The B5 has a regular saloon car angle and the side profile, developed from many years of manufacturing kart seats, gives excellent support whilst leaving the shoulders free to help steer the car unhindered. The seat is not only exceptionally light but also very rigid, which adds to the handling feedback and feeling of security.

The uncovered B5 GRP weighs an impressively light 4.5 kg and with the Dinamica suede covered pads it weighs 5.5 kg. (All weights quoted are + or minus 10%).
